Can children with fever still take anti-inflammatory drugs while taking traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can children with fever still take traditional Chinese medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is no conflict between fever-reducing medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cold medicine. You can use fever-reducing medicine first and then use the others, without any problem. If the child's temperature has come down a bit now, that's fine. Continue monitoring, and see if it will rise again. If the fever recurs, it is recommended to visit the doctor tomorrow. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
